Gopher State One Call (GSOC) is once again sponsoring the 2025 Day of the Dozers, which supports the important efforts of Children’s Minnesota. This year’s event is taking place on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the ERX Motor Park in Elk River, Minnesota. Hosted by the DIGIN Midwest, Day of the Dozers is a an exciting annual event that allows families to get an up-close look at heavy equipment and learn about the construction industry, damage prevention, and safety best practices.
At Day of the Dozers, kids ages three to 10 can ride in construction vehicles and heavy equipment alongside operators, and the entire family can play in the sand pits, explore a variety of family-focused activities, and enjoy food from local food trucks.
GSOC is continuing to sponsor the event’s 811 Kids Activity Zone. Welcoming kids of any age, the activity zone is an engaging way to introduce underground utility safety and damage prevention to young minds from Minnesota and beyond. It’s also a great opportunity for adults to connect with 811 professionals and ask questions about contacting GSOC before digging or any other underground utility questions.
The 2025 Day of the Dozers is set to be another great event—we invite you to join us and help surpass the over $101,000 raised for Children’s Minnesota last year. With your help, we can do it!
